Healthcare Open Enrollment -- 2009: WATCH OUT!!!

Roger, My premiums will increase 0% as I do not have insurance. I'm very uneasy about the government having any kind of a role in health care. I have applied for Social Security Disability and am now told it will be 14-16 months before I have a hearing. I have paid into the system since 1973, now just let me try to get something out of what was supposed to be held IN TRUST!

Steve,
Even if your SSI Disability claim is delayed, the Public Option is primarily designed to provide "affordable insurance" for you. The recent moves of insurance companies will drive more people into your condition -- uninsured.

Eat healthy, exercise regularly, and BE CAREFUL!

It's dangerous out there without coverage.

Well said!

Irma, I submitted a colorofchange.org letter today also. The Internet, and the 24 hour news cycle of the Information Age has enlightened us to the processes of Capitol Hill. No change is easy, or fast. What we are seeing is how difficult it really is to affect change. We must remain vigilant, and active to make sure our representatives know we are watching them. There is n such thing as a "silent majority." Those who are silent get taken advantage of.

Stay strong, and active.

Hi Roger,today Color of Change asked me to sign a petition letter to Congress. This is what I wrote in the letter part from me...
FOR EIGHT YEARS YOU SAID YOU COULD NOT GET ANYTHING DONE BECAUSE THE REPUBLICANS WERE THE MAJORITY.WHAT IS YOUR EXCUSE N-O-W FOR NOT GETTING ANY THING DONE THAT THE REPUBLICANS DO NOT WANT DONE?!?

Actually I am so confused by this whole thing. But, only up to a point. That point is why in the world don't we the public get it, YET....Congress itself is runing a major scam on all of us!!!!!! They are all to far in bed with big business to do any thing but, use and abuse us under the party name game.(and, I am not smiling as too much is going on here that is protecting them in Washington)

WAKE UP...as Clark said RomE is burning and here we are blaming every body but those we voted to represeint us and who on this site can say that their vote is working in their favor...it's called every day common sense that says we the voters are the government so why are we worried as we are???????again WAKE UP...

Plus, now that the state of California has taken out money from the checks of the disable three times this year and no out cry, guess what has happened as of the announcement as of yesterday....

Now, if you make at least $20,000 a year they will start taking out $8.00 each pay check. If you make $100,000 a year you will have I believe $14.00 taken out. I do not fully understand if this is just fro county, state or what ever workers...

WHAT NEXT as I have never heard of anything like this before. The courts are now closed one day each month...did I say what next???LOL??!!!!
